Local cancer support charity, Cois Nore is set to get  a funding boost of €80,000.
MSD Ireland has announced the Cois Nore Cancer Support Centre as a recipient of its new global grants programme, “Solutions for Healthy Communities”, looking to address systemic health inequalities in local communities across the world.
Following applications from a large number of organisations all over the world, MSD Ireland announced Cois Nore Cancer Support Centre, based in Kilkenny, was selected as their new partner, awarding the organisation with a two-year funding commitment worth €80,000.
MSD’s “Solutions for Healthy Communities” grant is a newly launched global grants programme aimed at investing in innovative solutions to improve health and quality of life for underserved populations worldwide. 
Grant recipients for 2024 include organisations across 24 countries, with Ireland being the only country to boast two successful organisations as part of this year’s selection process: Cois Nore Cancer Support Centre in Co. Kilkenny and Sexual Health West in Co. Galway.
The Cois Nore Outreach Programme provides cancer support services to rural areas of County Kilkenny, addressing the accessibility challenges faced by those who cannot easily travel to care, such as the elderly, one-car families, people who are not well enough to travel, and carers who are not able to leave the person they are caring for alone for a long period.
